What is dengue in english?
There's been a lot of talk about 'dengue' in the news because of the monsoon. I hear the Hindi term 'dengu bukhar', but what is dengue called in English, just to be clear?

Dengue in English? It's still 'dengue'! Just pronounced a bit differently sometimes, like 'den-gee'. It's that annoying fever caused by a mosquito that makes you feel like you've been hit by a truck! So yeah, 'dengue' it is, just avoid the mosquitos!

Haha, dengue is 'dengue' only in English! It's not like it has a completely different name. It's just a mosquito-borne viral disease that gives you a high fever and makes you feel super tired. We hear about it every monsoon, so just be careful!

Dengue in English is... dengue! My brain can barely string together sentences at this point, but I know that one. It's a nasty mosquito virus that definitely doesn't help with getting good sleep. Just thinking about it makes me tired!

It's just 'dengue fever' in English, man. I had it once, and it was rough. High fever, joint pain, felt like my bones were breaking. So yeah, don't want to get 'dengue'. Keep the mosquitoes away, especially those striped ones!

Dengue fever is an official English term for the disease caused by the dengue virus, transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. There isn't a separate, more 'English' name for it. It's a well-known global health concern, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. Always best to consult a medical professional for accurate information and treatment.
